Behavioural and clinical signs of Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Year: 2018
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: OBJECTIVESSyringomyelia is characterised by fluid-filled lesions in the spinal cord.A classic sign of severe syringomyelia is 'phantom scratching', the pathogenesis of which is unclear.It has been associated with a large dorsolateral syrinx at the level of the C3 and C4 spinal segments with damage to the superficial dorsal horn.We compared populations of inhibitory and excitatory interneurons in the dorsal horn of the middle cervical spinal cord segments between 'scratchers' and 'non-scratchers' to further investigate this.
